#4. Christmas Tree | 12 Days of Christmas

Not the best Christmas Tree in the world but I did do it myself and I think it looks pretty :)

We're always quite late to put up Christmas decorations because my mum and brother are so busy and I don't come home til mid December.

Here's a few more I put up, it's looking really Christmasy now and it's getting me super excited!!

I got a new Christmas jumper also which I'm going to wear to the Christmas Market I think, super excited for that also!

#3. Start a new Read | 12 Days of Christmas

As my last post was about seeing The Hunger Games Catching Fire (Link Here) I thought it only appropriate to start reading the third book Mockingjay. So this will be my new read and another goal ticked off the list ! 

I've read the book before but I thought I'd jog my memory and seeing the film yesterday has made me obsessed all over again. 

I am excite.

#11. Cinema | 12 Days of Christmas

In my previous post I made a list of 12 things to do before 2013 ends called 12 Days of Christmas and going to the cinema is the first thing I get to tick off my list!

I went to see the new Hunger Games film, Catching Fire.

It. Was. Amazing. 

As soon as I came out of the cinema me and Matthew instantly wanted to go see it again, or more ideally see the third movie Mocking jay!

First goal unlocked :)

Liebster Blog Award x4 nominations

It's been a busy week moving from Ireland to England into a new house so I haven't been able to post as much as I want to but when I logged in I found I had been nominated for a Liebster Award by four different lovely people and I thought it would be a great chance to do an 'about me' kind of post as I haven't done one yet. I don't really know how this award works but I'll will answer all four sets of questions along with the 11 facts about me. 

That's a lot of pressure to be interesting but I'll give it a good go. 

So I was tagged by Rianna, Lesley, Emily and Alaina. 

You should check out their blogs, I followed instantly ! 

11 FACTS

1. I've been to California three times, to visit my uncle who lives in San Francisco and he took me to Las Vegas in Nevada, Maui in Hawaii and Disney land in Florida so I'm a very lucky girl.
2. I have a phobia of crisps, like its ok for me to eat them but I can’t stand someone eating them near me I just think they are gross and disgusting! Please say I'm not the only one or am I just a weirdo?   
3. My best friend is my little brother Thomas he is the best human on the planet 
4. Moving to a different country to study was one of the best decisions I've ever made
5. I live for planning, I'm such an organised person and could make lists forever
6. This is a major flaw which I wish wasn't a fact but I'm really impatient, like when I watch something I’ll forward it a lot just to know what’s happing without having to watch the thing in full 
7. I like everyone. There are only a few people in my life that I've disliked (for good reason) but until they give me a reason not too I consider everyone a friend. 
8. Each to their own is in my vocabulary on a daily basis, no judgement  you do you, live and let live. No one is exactly the same so why compare?
9. My favourite YouTuber is Chris Kendall (crabstickz) that guy is hilar bear 
10. I have quite a traditional Irish family with 4 siblings, 3 uncles, 9 aunties and over 40 cousins of which they've had about 15 kids so far between them. 
11. Simple one, my favourite colour is orange!
